Police say a Colorado bride-to-be killed her fiancé over a potential guest at their wedding.

KKTV reports 31-year-old Jacqueline Souza called 911 Friday night to say her fiancé, Brandon Watkins, was bleeding and had dropped to the floor of their Colorado Springs home.

When police arrived, Watkins was unresponsive on the floor and a bloody steak knife was on the kitchen table.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reports Souza was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. She posted her $50,000 bond and was released Tuesday morning.

Asked about what happened to Watkins, Souza told police she and her fiancé were coming home late from a party celebrating their upcoming Las Vegas wedding when they began fighting about a certain guest. Watkins reportedly wanted to invite a woman he had once had an affair with, which Souza suspected was still ongoing.

As for how Watkins ended up stabbed, Souza changed her story multiple times, police said.

First, she said she came out of the bathroom to find the knife in Watkins' chest and the sliding door open.

When police said there was no evidence the home had been broken into, Souza said Watkins may have stabbed himself in the chest because of their fight.

When pressed a third time, Souza said Watkins had come toward her with the knife and backed her into the sink. She claimed she pushed him away, causing him to fall down on top of the knife.

Investigators did not find that account consistent with where Watkins' body was found or with a dark bruise “roughly the size of the butt end or finger grip portion of a steak knife” on Souza's hand.

A GoFundMe page created for Watkins aims to raise money to bring his body back to his hometown in New Jersey.

"Brandon was impactful and a presence like no other. He was the one-of-a-kind combination of Stone Cold Stunner and animal lover, bench press crusher and most loving brother, Army vet with no time for complainers and a real-life game changer," the page reads. "We want to bring Brandon home. To be buried near the home of his mother and best friend/brother."
